'bout time Al! :)

Good to see your bikes in the daylight rather than illuminated only by the Ayups!

Don't think I've ever seen a Crossmark 2.1 on a Bullit before either. You haven't always had that on there have you?

hee heee ... nah ... Bullit is currently in Al the weight weenie mode ... I'm still undecided whether the compromise with the crossmarks is worth the skittish handling on the downs *rubs chin and contemplates wisely ... pffft I'm a weight weenie, who cares about handling :p

Some teaser pics of my New rig

A much needed update to the Herd ... rigs haven't landed yet ... and my one will be red ... although I'm liking the black.

Haven't decided on build yet ... but will come with Ti CCDB out back and I'd really like crankbro wheels.

I don't think I've got "The ONE" bike in my collection yet. The Bullit comes close, but it really hurts pedalling uphill

There is only a kilo difference between the Trance and the Bullit in its current guise (not pictured) ... but the Trance loves hills more then me and I'm not overly fit even at my fitest :p.

One day.

LoL Nerf, your new bike reminds me of Buzz from Toy Story 1 trying to fit in with Woody and the other toys.


That's some serious looking gear buddy; is it your "between jobs" presents? :cool:

When did the Propain come into the picture .. not a substitute for the Lifeline is it?

Not that I'd be complaining, they are one very sweet looking ride.

good question ... :)

Lifeline is being built up and is still in the works ... just waiting on various bits from slack arse couriers.

Propain came about as part of an ... uhmmmmmm .... unexpected marketing plan :p

I'll be doing OTB demo days to introduce the puppy to the Sydney Market ... soon at a push track near you :p

Time to get rid of the Gasman sticker on the eastern? I like the look of the Propain man, looks the goods!
